This is a funny Read. You do not know how to build or Tune and Engine. Save your money. Just have the heads redone and only Milled if they need to be. If you have them Milled you will never get the car to run right.

I have some chevy truck heads. I cant remember the casting number though. The local machine shop said they were GM Torque heads. What about those?

By the time you spend money on any old GM castings to get them "workable", do any port/polish, valves/etc., just buy the best set you can afford for what you're doing.
Even some of the newer GM vortec heads are much better than any of the old castings you'll find and dump (waste, in my opinion) money into.

The casting for my other heads is 14102191. Are they good? And I was told vortec heads only fit fuel injection?

P.s. for the guy that asked. Im running a Muncie Rock Crusher 4 speed trans with the stock rear end rebuilt with posi. I am going to instal frame ties and soon as I get the cash. I just want to get it running for now.

Like I said, I wouldn't use any stock casting unless it was a vortec style head. You can absolutely run vortec heads with a carb/standard intake. A lot of people do so. In fact, one of the guys in our group runs a vortec headed 383.

Ok sweet!!
The bigger CC the better in a head right?
Also, I assume I run vortecs with my edelbrock RPM performer right?

Honestly, dump those heads. I would not waste any money on those castings. By the time you spend money doing work to those, you can get a much better new assembled casting for probably the same price.

Thats what it is. Or at least thats what we were told. It looks nothing like a T-10 which came in these cars. My car has always been a four speed from the factory. They only made roughly 1200 cars exactly like mine.

I got an idea... fuck off.Go stuff your boy friends cock in your mouth. My mom works all the time to take car of my little sisters. My parents are divorced. Mom pays house paymnet and everything by her self. So fukc you.

Ahh, so you rip on peoples wifes but when someone talks about your mom you go balistic. . . interesting

So how bad is the car twisted? I have a friend with an 89 with a 355 in it. You can see where the car twist from the power. He had Subframe connectors on his car. Anyone who is thinking of building fbodys would put those in. If your car had all the things done to it has they told you, That car would have Cracks all over it.

So what rear end is it? 10bolt? 12 bolt? Will it handle your 200 wheel horsepower?

And I'll laugh when you blow your shit if you spray Nitrous. You can't just slap heads on and call it good... for one you'll need the correct type of pistons that will be able to handle the Nitrous. If your tuning the carb. you'll probably blow yourself up as you'll hit it while its lean.

for someone with no experience with what they are doing, your best to buy a car thats already built with what you want, or to buy an engine already built.

id spend some time on motownmuscle.com they will have oodles more info than most people here.. just dont make the same mistake i did with my 1st engine build. and thats going into the summit cat. and buying all the parts that are listed for your make and model engine.. mine worked out good but if i had done the research and bought parts that were meant for each other it wouldve been a shit ton better !

The car is not twisted at all and all the body lines and gaps are perfect. It does twist a bit. About half way down the track the front passenger tire lifts off the ground and stays until you let off.

The stock rear end is a 10bolt? If so say bye bye!!

The car has the Ws6 Suspension which isnt as hard on the body and drivetrain when you pull holeshots and such. I know how to drive the car and how to pull holeshots. Kinda have to ease of the clutch slowly to keep the pressure on the gears and such and then let it go and hold the trottle down. Also, the NOS was a joke. Even though I would be fine with a 100 shot. I believe teh pistons are forged along witht he rods. I wouldnt chance it though.
